Sure. Please see below timeline. Applied on behalf of partner from Kenya:

Online application submitted - 01 July 2020
Partner went for biometrics - 15 July 2020
Message to collect passport - 21 August 2020

1) If her visa has been approved and she has got the visa sticker in her passport is there anything else I need to do or can she just book her flight?

2) Just to confirm, does she only need to present following at UK immigration upon arrival or is there anything else? :
- her passport with the visa sticker
- TB certificate
- complete submit this form: https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-cont ... -travel-uk

I. E. Will she be asked for anything else or interviewed etc, just want to make sure so she's not held up there because we forgot something.

Thanks a lot
Shyam

It's definitely good news.
She also needs to present the visa approval letter that she gets with her passport back.
She can just book her flight. ( indirect flights are way cheaper at the moment and only a few hours longer)
She may be asked any general questions about you, your adress, phone number, your relationship bla bla bla. But depends on the IO she meets.

On a side note keep an eye on travel news if the Government approves Covid-19 test on arrival this week to beat the self quarantine requirement.

Hi All

So it's been more than a year since the biometrics. I will now be complaining to the home office.

Can someone please tell me what the email is to complain. The email that costs around £5.

Thank you

I feel your pain AS4LYFT! It's well. Did you you use a solicitor for your application? If not, I recommend you get one and make an official enquiry.

Yes I did use a solicitor.

In fact I'm going to get my solicitor to complain sometime this week.

Been over 13 months since the biometrics. 9 months if you exclude the 4 months the home office was closed for from Monday 23 March - Monday 27 July 2020.

I gave my case in Pakistan in case anyone wants to know.

Thanks guys, good news. She's got her visa. Thanks for all your help guys. One last thing, once she enters, where/when does she get stamped on her passport which shows the 33 month visa? Or is that shown on her BRP card once we collect?

And does she need to present both brp and the passport with vignette if she travels back and forth to Kenya etc?

Thanks
Shyam

It would be helpful if you continued in your existing topic you already have as posts simply get lost in this topic.

1. Once she enters the UK, her temporary visa vignette will be stamped on arrival. She then has to collect her BRP card (which is her visa) within 10 days form your nominated Post Office. There is no such thing as 'stamped passport showing 33 months visa'.

2. If she travels out of the UK, she needs to travel with BOTH her passport and BRP card (don't lose it, expensive to replace). She needs the BRP card, which is the visa and proof of right to enter the UK to be able to board a plane. She needs the same on arrival in the UK to prove she has a valid visa to enter the UK.

Any one still waiting more than 6 months?
I am 10+ months! Haven't heard from them. Except the silly automated messages 'not sraight forward' or awaiting decision. Inchallah there will be a lot of good news for us this blessed ramadan.

Yazy Lat I have been keeping an eye out on your application since you gave yours about a month before mine.

Any update with yours?

I am still waiting 13+ months. Biometrics was in July 2019. The home office really knows how to test one's patience.

Has anyone else been waiting a year or close to a year?
